The first of a series of “go-lives” for the ConnectCarolina project is currently scheduled to take place on July 20, 2009, when a portion of the University’s new integrated administrative system becomes available for end users. The initial impact of this go-live for much of the University community will be seen in the online campus directory.
Changes to the online campus directory include a redirect to a location in the new enterprise portal, called AccessCarolina, and a redesigned directory update account interface. Students and employees will also see minor changes in the directory search tools.
